Please also let us know in advance if your group, or anyone within it, requires accommodation.

The Museums must be informed in writing of changes or cancellations at least 14 days prior to the visit. Otherwise, the total cost of the booking will be charged to the credit card provided when the booking was made. There is no charge for cancellations due to transportation issues related to inclement weather.

Payment may be made in cash, by credit card (Visa, Mastercard or Amex), or by cheque made payable to the Canadian Museum of History (please indicate the reservation number on the cheque).

Storage lockers located in the Group Entrance area will be assigned to your group, free of charge. Lockers will not be shared between groups and they will be cleaned every day.

The Museum is fully accessible. However, to help ensure an inclusive and welcoming experience, please advise our Call Centre in advance if your group, or anyone within it, requires accommodation.

Coach and bus parking is available onsite and along Wellington Street, just before the corner of Vimy Place.

These engaging 45-minute guided tours cover important themes and exhibition highlights. All tours last approximately 45 minutes and cost $4 per person (in addition to Museum admission).

A Group Lunch Room, located near the Group Entrance, is available for student groups that bring their lunch. Space is limited to one group at a time and advance reservation is required. The Group Lunch Room will be cleaned between groups.

The Café offers a wide range of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack options. The Café benefits from the modern architecture of the Museum, and its massive bay windows opening onto the terrace overlooking the Ottawa River. Group menu options are available or visitors can enjoy à la carte items.
